Coming up with fresh ideas for social media can be taxing, but the holidays bring a wealth of ideas for new posts. You can generate more engagement and deepen your audience’s connection to your brand by sharing fun and festive content this time of year. Here are some ideas for Christmas social media posts!
1. Christmas gift ideas
For many of us, finding the perfect Christmas present for a partner, family member, friend, or coworker is a real struggle. Sharing gift ideas on your business’s social media can help with this common holiday conundrum. These posts are an excellent opportunity to advertise your products or services (if that’s within your company’s offerings). Another idea is to share gift ideas for those working in your industry.
2. Show off your holiday spirit
How does your company celebrate the holidays? Has your office or retail space been transformed into a winter wonderland? Is your team wearing their favourite ugly Christmas sweaters? Show it off on social media!
3. Talk about traditions
Christmas traditions are a beloved part of the holiday season- and people love to talk about them! Ask your audience about their own unique, fun, or meaningful holiday traditions.
4. Quiz your audience
Quizzes are a fun and straightforward way to generate engagement and connect with your audience. This Christmas season, design festive social media posts that test your followers’ seasonal knowledge. You could even offer a small prize to capture your audience’s attention.
5. Caption this!
Another great way to create engagement on your Christmas social media posts is to ask audiences to caption an image. For example, post a fun, amusing, or interesting festive-themed picture and see what clever captions your audience can think up.
6. Holiday playlist
It just isn’t the holidays without Christmas music. Your favourite festive tunes are just waiting to transform into social media posts. Share your top Christmas songs, create a playlist, or ask your audience what they’re playing on repeat.
7. Festive feasts and treats
From big Christmas dinners to freshly baked cookies, there’s no denying that food is a central part of the holidays. You can aim to inspire your audience with fresh recipe ideas or compile a list of classic festive dishes. In addition, ask your followers about their favourite Christmas foods.
8. Share local Christmas activities
How does your community celebrate the holidays? What Christmas activities or events are on the roster? Consider sharing information on these fun, festive, and local activities and events on your social media. Posts about around-town happenings establish your business as an engaged participant in your local community.
9. Offer tips on how to unwind
December is a hectic month. Between the holiday work rush, shopping for gifts, and preparing for gatherings, many people find this time of year more stressful than relaxing. So, give a few suggestions on how to unwind.
10. Spread holiday cheer
This holiday season, use some Christmas social media posts to brighten the lives of your audience. Do your best to spread some holiday cheer by telling a festive joke or simply wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Merry Christmas! From all of us at Circlewood Creative.
